Backup protection and search capabilities optimize data management while API-driven architecture streamlines integration
The protection group, the ease of use, and their Helios platform are the features I find the best. I have utilized the built-in deduplication and compression features, which are pretty good and have helped optimize my storage use. The experience has been good. The SpanFS is their file system with the erasure coding and all of that, so they are quite advanced in terms of cyber resilience. My experience with the ransomware protection solution offered by Cohesity C6000 Series has been that their anomaly detection is pretty good. We keep getting alerts for different issues. We have the anomaly detection and threat analytics configured, so it will generate alerts if it detects an anomaly, which we analyze from our end. The global indexing and search capabilities allow me to search for files, which has been pretty useful for us. The API-driven architecture of Cohesity C6000 Series has enabled good integration with ServiceNow and other ITSM tools.

Ease of acquisition, simple deployment, and priced well
The support from Dell VxFlex Ready Nodes is okay. It could be better, they have to work on their approach. The approach they have I call "pass the baton". Every manufacturer does this, such as Cisco, Dell, and Microsoft. You call in, receive a call handler, and give them your problem. The first person you talk to can never fix your problem. They just collect information. There's probably a 5 percent chance that they could fix your problem. Then they pass it off to the next person, there is a lot of passing. That's why I call it "pass the baton". The company I work for the maintenance services is at 98 percent, we receive over 50,000 incidents a month, for those customers who have support through Dell, Cisco, or someone else, 98 percent of our incidents or ticket requests get resolved by your first point of contact. We try to take out that frustration. Knowing that it's possible to fix that model. I don't think it saves them much money, because they're tying up too many resources where if they could route those incidents to the person that could fix them the first time, it would just save a lot of frustration on the customer's behalf. It would make everything a lot more efficient, and a better overall customer support image. It is a bad model that many vendors use.
